A client is admitted with an exacerbation of heart failure secondary to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Which observation(s) by the nurse require immediate intervention to reduce the likelihood of harm to this client? Select all that apply.

RationaleA. This is generally a good practice for clients who may have difficulty ambulating to the bathroom due to their condition. It promotes safety and reduces the risk of falls, especially during episodes of dyspnea.B. A supine position can increase venous return to the heart and exacerbate symptoms of heart failure by increasing preload. This can lead to increased pulmonary congestion and respiratory distress. Therefore, this observation requires immediate intervention.C. Providing a low sodium diet aligns with managing heart failure by reducing fluid retention and workload on the heart. This observation does not require immediate intervention unless there are specific dietary restrictions or concerns.D. In heart failure, fluid restriction is often necessary to prevent fluid overload and exacerbation of symptoms. Having a full pitcher of water accessible to the client could lead to excessive fluid intake, which is concerning and requires immediate intervention.E. A saline lock allows access for intravenous medications or fluids if needed. Its presence does not necessarily indicate a need for immediate intervention unless it is not functioning properly or if there are signs of infection or infiltration.
